home massage assuming
Assuming I'm home and don't have an event, I'll have a massage or I'll talk on the phone.
dark chocolate dark-chocolate
I love green juices, soups, and salads. I also love dark chocolate.
comfort sometimes my-favorite
Pasta is my favorite comfort food, but sometimes my body really wants a steak, and I'll have one.
home
I feel at home most places I go, but my very top of the list are Bali, Italy, and London. Those are like second homes to me.
creative magic juice
The magic happens in the creative studios. But sometimes you're inspired when you're removed from it a little bit. That's when the juice starts to percolate.
party thinking play
I love to play, I love to dance, I love to party . . . I'm a liver. I think what I need to learn is how to find the calmness, the centeredness.
spiritual connections boundaries
My spiritual connection is about embracing everything around me. We're all the same. There are no boundaries . . .
self soul born
For me, the soul is connected to a higher being. It's not about religion; it's about connecting to your true self - your truth, the truth inside of you, the one you were born with.
choices lessons ive-learned
You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not. So there I was.
When I see a non-yogi [benefit], that's when it really affects my life.
team support collaboration
I always need a support team, even at Donna Karan. I like collaborating. There is something in collaboration that is wonderful.
daughter facts like-me
I couldn't stand the fact that anybody else was dressing like me. It was supposed to be for me and my friends, not my daughter and her friends!
thinking clothes sensual
For me, starting each collection is always about what I really want, what I really need, and I was personally dying for sensual comfort. I think when you think of Donna Karan, you think of sensuality, but it's a different kind of sensuality. A kind of comfort sensuality that is one with your body and the way clothes feel on.
inspiration believe people
I do not believe I can no longer dress people, but it's more about dressing their insides. Everyone is affected by healthcare. Everyone is affected by education. And for me, a personal inspiration is the preservation of culture.
